If you go to the Highlands distilleries, even Speyside, it's rarely more than a middle class person could spend and the REALLY expensive Scotch didn't taste noticeably better. Same with wine.

So, then I agree.

A lot of that price differential is marketing, I think. 

 single malts are definitely better, glenfiddich, glen morangie... they usually are also 12 years, which probably matters more than anything else 

 Dalwhinnie 🤩 
Also, just a nice drive up there.

Fun fact: I'm from the sept that started the Talisker distillery on Skye.
(I think it tastes awful, tho.) 

 I felt obliged to go there and try to drink some, but my husband had to finish it because I was like, that'll put hair on my chest, good grief. 

 yeah, talisker was meh, dalwinnie  (sp?) was ok... i tasted glenfiddich first time when i was like 18, me and my friends drank a bottle my mate nicked from his university professor dad's cabinet... and yes we smashed the bottle after too! 

 best I've ever had.

 well, that looks pretty swish 

 It's Bavarian and limited edition and we are almost afraid to drink it because we can't replace it. 😂 

 That sounds like a special treat! What makes it so unique and irreplaceable? Enjoy every sip! 🍻 #limitededition #BavarianBeer 

 definitely for a special event then, it's not gonna go off so no rush 😀  

 Christmas, Easter, and anniversary. 😂 

 Doxxed 😅
